Front

What kind of energy is in gasoline in a car tank (car is not on)?

Back

Potential energy is stored energy that has the potential to do work.

Front

Energy due to motion is ____________ energy.

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object due to its motion.

Front

Gravitational potential energy depends on the ________ and ________ of the object.

Back

Gravitational potential energy depends on the height and mass of the object.

Front

At which point is potential energy greatest? (W, X, Y, Z)

Back

Potential energy is greatest at point W.

Front

Which of the following is NOT true about Potential Energy?

Back

Potential energy only occurs when an object is in motion is NOT true.

Front

Define Potential Energy.

Back

Potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position or arrangement.

Front

What is Kinetic Energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion.

Front

How does height affect gravitational potential energy?

Back

As height increases, gravitational potential energy increases.

Front

What is the formula for gravitational potential energy?

Back

The formula is PE = mgh, where PE is potential energy, m is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity, and h is height.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and potential energy?

Back

Potential energy increases with an increase in mass.
